"A preliminary assessment of the damage caused by the Nazi attack on the region's infrastructure — social facilities, roads, networks, and so on — has been completed. It is estimated at a whopping 11.5 billion rubles. And this figure may be far from final," Alekseyenko wrote on his Telegram channel.
Overnight on June 6, Ukrainian troops launched a series of strikes on the Kakhovka HPP, destroying the upper part of the plant, which caused an unregulated release of water.
One of the purposes of the Kiev regime's destruction of the plant is to deprive Crimea of water, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called the destruction a barbaric act of the Kiev regime and stressed that it led to a large-scale environmental and humanitarian disaster.
